HELP needed- Hobby Engine Abrams/Leo

Hi, Can anyone please offer advice on how to remove the idler wheels of Hobby Engine Abrams or Leopard 1/16 tanks? The road wheels are easy as they are simply attached to the suspension arms with screws, which can be accessed by removing the hub covers. The idler wheels seem to be force-fitted and I have no idea how to demount them.
Thanks. - Gerry

I had the same problem. You just need to pull HARD! but being careful to pull straight on the wheel. I did it on 2 hulls with no problem so you should be ok. Otherwise if you can sacrifice the white bushing just cut or melt that off.

Its funny that on such a flimsy chassis the idler setup with the thick bar is so tough!
